Tsoknyi Rinpoche's story is an unusual one: as a rebellious young man, he fled a monastery to marry and raise a family, then returned to Nepal and has since become a preeminent Tibetan Buddhist teacher. This book offers Rinpoche's history as an example of how to lead a compassionate life, regardless of status, tradition or circumstances.
Speaks to us with an exhilarating freshness, being fully aware of the complexity of modern life...gifted
A profound and skillful teacher
When not teaching and travelling, Tsoknyi Rinpoche lives in Nepal and runs a variety of projects such as preserving and disseminating rare Tibetan Buddhist texts. He also supports the living expenses of 100 nuns in hermitages in Nepal - as well as funding the construction of wells in India. See his website: http://www.pundarika.org/index.html
